Metropolitan Area Groundwater Model
3D Animation of 3 Significant Aquifers


The following two links lead to a simulated 3-D fly-over presentation of three significant aquifers: the St. Peter Sandstone, the Prairie du Chien Formation, and the Jordan Sandstone. These geologic units are presented in three-dimensional shaded relief, using geologic data provided by the Minnesota Geological Survey. The animated GIF should run without modification on Netscape and Internet Explorer Web browsers, but the Flash version may require a plug-in (download Macromedia Flash Player). Note: the files available below are very large and may take a few minutes to load completely into your Web browser.
